I would describe my train of thought like trains travelling over a railroad that’s got this mile long gap in between; the trains that travel over that goddamned gap in the vain hope of reaching the set of railroads on the other side instantly derail. No matter how fast those trains are going, they will never, ever be able to reach the set of railroads.

No, I mean like we sound too dependent on a bunch of aliens who are way too okay to coexist with us, and we are okay with coexisting with those aliens without a reason why they haven’t come in and genocided us just yet.

If we're going to be semantic - in the hardest of sci-fi settings, it is highly unlikely that there are any aliens that think and act even remotely similar to humans. In any case, we cannot reasonably assume anything about an alien civilization because they grew up in a literally alien climate. If something resembling civilization could arise at all on an alien planet, unless they lived on an utterly hellish planet where "kill first, ask questions later" is standard protocol (sound familiar?), I find it unlikely that "blow them up with expensive super weapons" would be the first option they'd choose.

well achutually hooshers are very non-human, and only some of them are actually bipedal, so far 9 of them walk on 4 or more legs pushes up glasses
and generally most of my aliens are very non human as well
Though I do make some things universal, like creating art, ie; creating things to create things
I did have another species that were pretty much humans that ended up wiping themselves out before the hooshers could get there, basically ended up killing each other in massive wars and ripped apart their planet to fuel them
basically what would happen to humanity if the Azavir didn’t intervene

anyways I’m off-topic rambling now so I’ll shut up

As far as FT goes, another cliche:

Nobody RPs the fact that every time they go into FTL travel, they are forever leaving everything they've ever known behind and when they emerge on the other side, everyone they knew who isn't also on the ship or traveling the same distance via FTL methods will be long, long dead, the country they came from quite possibly nonexistent, their language possibly extinct, the base of knowledge of their species advanced by centuries to millennia, and maybe even the star that their planet orbited around has collapsed, too. The reason they traveled so far might not even be relevant anymore.

Time dilation is a terrifying and depressing topic.

don’t care physics can eat it I use instant wormholes for my FTL and disregard any supposed paradoxes
I already respect enough science I’m not going to bend any further

I rely on wormholes fucking up occasionally with time as the thing that supports them gets weaker thus throwing people in the middle of literal empty space or in face of an incoming horde of Khuraki
for the FTL based depression that is

Bwahahaha, that's why I chickened out broke conventions and made the Anhu human. It made sense to make the most of the zoo hypothesis and the inter-dimensional/time travel ufology scenarios even if my nation's pretty campy and not at all realistic. That and because I think most sci-fi aliens have a tendency to be idealized versions of humanity or exteriorized monstrous flaws of it and that they're egotistical psychological mirrors that regard.

I'll shut up about existential angst and the dangers of cosmic boredom now.

I mean, if we're being honest - the vast majority of 'proposed' FTL travels won't work at all even ignoring paradoxes/dilation. So if we're going to be depressingly Hard Sci, you might as well talk about the woes of being a person on a generation ship - never to see land and experience life outside of their confined metal tube in space.

Honestly, I feel like most "aliens" are just our version of angels/fae/demons. Most are either idolized versions of human society or take everything the writer finds disgusting and throws them into a pit. (Take how many hiveminds are vague references to communism/monarchism, or how star trek literally has an empire just called "Romulan Empire")

Even among ufology's circles, you can tell how pop culture tends to show its influences. For example, before the 80s, the way supposed abductees/contactees described aliens was varied, with Brits in particular clinging onto elves and fae-like beings. When abduction literature became mainstreamed, suddenly everyone worldwide began to report Greys.

An addendum to my point on time dilation: even sub-FTL, it becomes an issue at relativistic speeds. Even at my work, time dilation is an issue as we deal with very sensitive equipment aboard satellites, and that's mostly because of gravitational effects rather than speed.
